In the last several years digital images have changed from being an expensive high technology peculiarity in libraries into an expectation. Libraries are actively involved in organizing and managing large digital image collections. These collections are now being created in nearly every art and science. The same technologies can impact preservation, interlibrary loan and classroom support. The central problems are the same as they have been in libraries for centuries. How do we organize, assess, store and protect the collects to meet the needs at a reasonable cost? This conference will explore the digital image technology and many facets of its impact on the libraries of today and tomorrow. Who should attend: This conference will be of interest to librarians, image database developers, academic computing staff, digital collection developers, and educators who use visual media.
